Plugin not installable?

[nmpcunha]

Hello,

I've found your plugin/library recently and, when trying it out, I wasn't able to get it installed. Also forked the project and tried both npm i and npm ci on different OS to try to throw off some possibilities on why it was not working properly.

From a very high level look it seems to be related to a package that is not available anymore (404 not found) but, I confess I didn't had a chance to dig deeper.

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Context:

• Node v18.16.0
• npm 9.5.1
• Windows 11 (but also tried on latest OSX)

Hi @nmpcunha , we will look into it, thanks for the alert

I'm facing the same issue with

• node v19.3.0
• npm 9.8.0
• pnpm 8.6.2
• Cypress 12.16.0
• windows 11 (latest updates)

I've managed to install and configure cypress-visual-regression plugin, but as mentioned in the readme here, anti-alliassing is a thing and I could really use this plugin

@nmpcunha @Andremoniy @mduivcap @HubertArciszewski95 this is a known problem from Canvas, you just need to install/update some sub-dependencies with:

brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman

I just created a PR adding a troubleshooting section with this problem and solution #19

[mduivcap]

If a Windows variant of what you do with brew can be included there, that would be awesome

@mduivcap I just added an alternative for Windows

Hi - I recently just added this library and ran into the problem mentioned above. Running brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman solved the problem for me when running locally. However, running it in a gitlab pipeline has produced another error ;

Any advice would be greatly appreciated on this one.
